December Flowers

Filled with Jesus-fascination Pure poinsettia Plantation Red, pink, white, salmon and yellow Cover the fields like a rainbow...! Sweet-peas like little butterflies, Cute cosmic angels in disguise; Perform ballet dance in cool breeze, Make baby Jesus feel at ease...! Does this blood-red calla lily Blooming full at weather chilly Prophesies his tests and passion Symbols of divine compassion...? Do these parrot tulip torch-balls Sing of sanctity of our calls? Setting our goals toward wholeness, Journeying with him in closeness...! These fresh camellias have stories - Their mysteries and histories; These as precious gifts they offer At the foot of their true author...! Anemones, Amaryllis, Gardenia and gladiolus, Each make this season auspicious, Adores Him who is judicious...!!! 16 November 2022 November or December Quatrain Poetry Contest Sponsored by: Caren Krutsinger
